Southeast Asia POS Terminal - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2026 - 2031)
Market Report I 2026-02-09 I 120 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
Southeast Asia POS Terminal Market Analysis
The Southeast Asia POS Terminal Market was valued at USD 4.96 billion in 2025 and estimated to grow from USD 5.73 billion in 2026 to reach USD 11.8 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 15.55% during the forecast period (2026-2031). Strong consumer migration to mobile wallets, rising ubiquity of QR codes, and government mandates that compel digital payment acceptance are keeping the Southeast Asia POS Terminal market on a steep growth trajectory. Merchants are shifting capital toward software-defined or hybrid devices that consolidate QR, NFC, and card functions, trimming counter clutter while future-proofing acceptance needs. Competitive focus has moved from hardware specifications to software ecosystems, favoring vendors that bundle inventory, CRM, and financing tools into cloud dashboards. Cross-border payment initiatives under the ASEAN Regional Payment Connectivity program promise faster certification cycles, a factor set to unlock incremental demand for the Southeast Asia POS Terminal market through 2030.
Southeast Asia POS Terminal Market Trends and Insights
Rapid Expansion of Digital Payments Across Southeast Asia
Mobile wallets processed more transactions than traditional card networks in Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines during 2024, a shift that has amplified replacement cycles for multi-modal devices across the Southeast Asia POS Terminal market. QRIS in Indonesia alone logged more than 16 billion transactions, forcing merchants to ditch single-function card readers in favor of integrated QR/NFC units. Device makers now design terminals with omnichannel APIs, enabling unified reconciliation across storefront and delivery channels. Payment processors, in turn, preload value-added apps loyalty, inventory, BNPL to keep devices sticky over a five-year lifespan. The net effect is sustained double-digit hardware refresh demand, particularly from micro-merchants upgrading from paper or cash registers.
Government Cash-less Initiatives and E-payment Regulations
Malaysia's e-Tunai Rakyat, Thailand's PromptPay, and Indonesia's SME subsidy schemes collectively inject thousands of subsidized terminals into the Southeast Asia POS Terminal market every quarter. Compliance clauses require certified NFC and EMV functionality, accelerating orders for mid-range Android models able to pass local security audits. Because subsidies often cover up-front hardware costs, vendors increasingly pivot to SaaS-based licensing that drives recurring revenue even after grants expire. Rural onboarding programs extend demand into second-tier cities, helping distributors expand beyond capital regions much faster than organic merchant acquisition would allow.
Cyber-security and Data-privacy Vulnerabilities
Bank Indonesia recorded a 45% jump in POS-linked fraud attempts during 2024, highlighting real-time threats that could stall new deployments if unaddressed. Malware that exploits outdated firmware spreads quickly once a single device is breached, prompting regulators to mandate over-the-air patch cycles. Smaller retailers, lacking IT staff, depend on vendors for security orchestration; when updates lag, risk-averse merchants defer purchases. Consequently, suppliers must bundle managed security services to keep the Southeast Asia POS Terminal market growth momentum intact.
Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

Segment Analysis
Contactless payments controlled 56.97% revenue share within the Southeast Asia POS Terminal market in 2025, and the segment is forecast to widen at a 17.05% CAGR through 2031. That dominance positions tap-to-pay as the baseline capability for every new device SKU. Vendors now engineer antenna placement and screen prompts to accelerate sub-two-second checkouts, an attribute that merchants equate with higher throughput. QR fallback remains essential for low-value micro-merchant use cases, ensuring no consumer gets blocked by wallet preference.
Terminal makers are stripping mechanical card slots from entry-level units, dropping component costs while promoting SoftPOS for PIN-on-glass transactions. This evolution underlines how the Southeast Asia POS Terminal market size tied to contactless solutions will eclipse card-only hardware retirements by mid-decade. The push also drives telcos to bundle higher LTE data caps with mPOS subscriptions, reflecting traffic spikes from always-connected firmware updates and analytics pings.
The Southeast Asia POS Terminal Market Report is Segmented by Mode of Payment Acceptance (Contact-Based and Contactless), POS Type (Fixed Point-Of-Sale System and Mobile/Portable Point-Of-Sale Systems), End-User Industry (Retail, Hospitality, Healthcare, Transportation and Logistics, and More), and Country.
